- Slim Pushins: Ryder said y'all are late. What's up everybody. Welcome to another horrible idea. Pushing the cushion garage beers number three, I think. I am the legendary Slim Pushings. As always, my co-host, guy who knows exactly how many steps to every single porta potty and every single racetrack he's ever been to, Corby Sherb. Corby Scherb: Hi everyone, how are y'all? Can't ever forget about the good old Uncle Jim Jim. Slim Pushins: and ⁓ Corby Scherb: Getting ready for it. got a big weekend coming up, Jimmy. It's a big deal, you know. ⁓ Actually, it was the Mike Melton originally. We won it two years ago, the inaugural. ⁓ Super happy with that. Now it's your shot to go out there and it pays more money. Now I think with lat money, I don't know, was like, I don't know, it was like 24 something that I brought home that night. It's paying five grand just to win the feature this year. Slim Pushins: I know Gemini didn't see any of that money. Jim Gardner: Yep, plus lap money. That's all right. That's all right. ⁓ Before we get to the goings on, we have ⁓ some news. Slim Pushins: Yeah Anything? Breaking? Jim Gardner: Yeah, hang on. I thought we had news. Hang on. Slim Pushins: Well, that was anticlimactic. Jim Gardner: That's right. The podcast has a sponsor now. So our buddy, big country, ⁓ whose actual name was Kyle Buffington, which I had to put in my phone. ⁓ he is a buddy of ours from chili bowl. ⁓ he's from Minnesota. He is managing a project for, ⁓ industrial energy solutions. He called me about it last week. They are going to be based out of Alvarado and doing a bunch of. Concrete construction work all in Texas and in the Midwest. He's heading up all these big jobs and these big concrete plants and ⁓ Wind turbines and a whole bunch of stuff. So he said hey What do we got to do to get a live spot on on pushing the cushion so I can get some get some guys to come work for me So I'll post all the details but Kyle Buffington good dude great dude, especially to have a chili bowl because he's enormous and You don't need to take a jack down to the hot pit because he'll just one hand it up. He is hiring. Yeah, he is hiring again. It's called Industrial Energy Solutions. I'll put a bunch of information on there. He is officially the first sponsor we have here at Pushing the Cushion and ⁓ you know, he's hiring and if you are looking to make a change and looking for some work ⁓ in the construction field, mostly ⁓ for some skilled concrete stuff. Slim Pushins: He's proven that a few times over. Jim Gardner: I'll have his information up here to get in touch with him. He's looking like right away. He called me last week from Minnesota. He's like, I got to get going. I'll be in Texas next week. So, ⁓ you know, they're looking for a foreman. They're looking for all sorts of different stuff. So we'll post that information. If you know anybody, get that out there. So, you know, sponsors make the racing world go around. have our first one. We're excited. So thank you, Kyle. Corby Scherb: Yeah, that guy is he's larger than life to just his attitude and his determination man like that guy You know at the chili bowl, you know people forget a lot of times like we sit down in our cars and they get pushed to the chute and all you had Are you needed was that guy standing behind you yelling coming through and I promise you it was like Moses Just the seas would part For sure Jim Gardner: It takes it seriously too. It's like, man, here's your job. You push and you're on lifting duty, you know, and, ⁓ he's just good people to have. we met, I mean, him and his dad were just, ⁓ around at chili bowl and, ⁓ now we can't get rid of them. So it's great. ⁓ anyway, thanks to Kyle. We'll get going on, on the rest of the stuff here, but I want to make sure I knocked that out right away and, ⁓ I'll get everybody that information. So. Corby Scherb: Yeah. He was. Hi, he's a great dude, but can we talk about the big country go-kart? Jim Gardner: No, we don't have to. He came last year. We had a big K1 speed in Arlington event. Corby won by technicality because he got the fastest go-karts. I ran second. Corby Scherb: Race or no? ⁓ you don't have to end? ⁓ Slim Pushins: Thanks for having me. Whoa, hold on. Jim Gardner: And I'm still pretty salty about that. Corby Scherb: Bates was there. Wesley was there. Some of the big country news guys. it was some good racing. Jim Gardner: Had a good crew. Yeah. It was good. Big country's ⁓ a stock car guy up in Minnesota too. So, ⁓ unfortunately, I don't think we're ever going to be able to jam him into a sprint car midget. Corby Scherb: We got even one at the shop. ⁓ We're gonna need the A-frame cut back and definitely a taller seat. Jim Gardner: Yeah, I couldn't eat an 88 42 car to get in and yeah, but anyway, he's a good dude. was bummed. He's, he's got to go back home before the race down in Kennedy this weekend. But, uh, um, anyway, he's good. He is good people. So, Corby Scherb: ⁓ yeah. Mm-hmm. So once again, thank you, Kyle. Thank you. I really do appreciate that. It's huge. Jim Gardner: Yeah, yeah, it's awesome. ⁓ Yeah, Kennedale this weekend. Unfortunately, last weekend got rained out everywhere. ⁓ Slim Pushins: You have the chance to dump Corby to win that go-kart extravaganza. Corby Scherb: I Jim Gardner: I mean, his, girl he was flirting with to get the fast go-kart would have probably black flagged me and put him back on, you know, gave him his spot back. I had to find a way to make it clean. And then I think somebody broke or I think big country broke and like they dropped all the cart speed to like idle and Corby got four car lengths on me and I could never make it back up. Anyway, whatever. Corby Scherb: There was no flirting. That was not at all. Slim Pushins: Thank Well... Corby Scherb: I think so, I think that was the big caution that we had. No, tell the whole story. just, I knew it was about to go green. I knew it was. So I break-checked Jimmy really hard. did cat-team? Slim Pushins: Corby coasted an island. Jim Gardner: Yeah, whatever. Yeah, whatever anyway. ⁓ Yeah, so. ⁓ Slim Pushins: Thank If I remember right, you were so hurt about that whole thing, Jim, that you wouldn't even take a podium picture. Corby Scherb: Hey, he took a podium picture. He wouldn't smile. Wesley stuck it on the box too. Wesley was smiling. Jim Gardner: I took the damn podium picture. Yeah, I was not gonna smile. Yeah, but ⁓ Slim Pushins: Uh, his daughter, remember we, uh, we bet Wes's daughter, JC Lee in, uh, they would only put her in a junior cart and she ran pretty close lap times. She was within like a half second of winning like 200 bucks. Corby Scherb: Mm-hmm. Yep. It was cool. It was a good time. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, um, yeah, unfortunately the rain got the two 305 shows in town last week. Um, yeah, it sucks. got, uh, that sucks. And Waco got run up rained out Friday. A couple of guys did go up to Lawton. Um, I didn't get a chance to see, uh, I saw Devin Debritt took a page out of the old. Corby Scherb: That's a major bummer for RPM, That's two in a row. Yep, hate that for Kevin. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Jim Gardner: Corbysherb Notebook and knocked out a front end on an infield tractor tire. Gave himself a little bit more work for this week. I didn't see who won. I was in Miami with my new friends at Formula One. Slim Pushins: Let's talk about that. You had an exciting weekend while Corby and I were driving it up at, you know, just an old NASCAR race. We're going to get to that. Corby Scherb: Like your golf buddies? Jim Gardner: The. Corby Scherb: We had a good weekend too, man. It was good. It was ⁓ my first NASCAR experience. But yeah, Jim, and I think that we've started a new thing that we can do, ⁓ even if it's just like not even, not anything live. Like we can do, you know, what is it? Corn dog testing? What is, or the best, the best corn dog in the country. Jim Gardner: ⁓ yeah. I, ⁓ yeah, I was a little hopped up on, ⁓ Heineken's and espresso martinis up in the, ⁓ up in the swanky lounge area. And, ⁓ we made our, we made our way down to the slums. Yeah. We made our way down to the slums of general admission and had myself a $25 corn dog and I was feeling good and wanted to. Slim Pushins: You Wait, I want to get to that too. But that's how ADD works. Jim Gardner: Compare it to my absolute favorite, which is the ones at the Kennedale Speedway Park. So we do have a video I might post that this week maybe side side maybe side by side I was ⁓ we were feeling good. You know, it was hot. It was man Slim Pushins: ⁓ there's no mic. Corby Scherb: I think this could be a really good thing. Slim Pushins: There's no mic. It's going to be posted. And you scalded the dog shit out of your mouth. To the point that your sister that was, I'm assuming it was your sister that was recording, was laughing at you. And then went in for a second scalding bite. Corby Scherb: It was really warm. Jim Gardner: You Yeah. Yeah, it was, ⁓ was not a bad corn dog. It was just 25 bucks. And I was trying to get my money's worth before it cooled off, you know? So, ⁓ yeah, but, ⁓ anyway, the, so my sister, ⁓ is, is, ⁓ wildly, ⁓ impressive marketing and business genius. So we were red carpet guests of a couple, ⁓ a couple of companies down there in Austin for Slim Pushins: Well, you accomplished that. Jim Gardner: the swanky sweets and everything. That $25 on that corn dog is the only money I spent all weekend, which was fun. Just really not my crowd at all. Just to be shaking grin with TikTok influencers I'd never heard of and. Corby Scherb: F1 that's that's just crazy stuff. You know just just how fast these cars are at this point ⁓ It's not even just the tire technology just the technology in general that the amount that they can do and adjust remotely Jim Gardner: Yeah, we, it, the, got to go on the pit road, ⁓ in between on Saturday, Slim Pushins: What do they call that, Courtney? The paddock. Corby Scherb: Yeah, the paddock. Yeah, the paddock. Yeah. Jim Gardner: paddock. We're in the paddock club. ⁓ Slim Pushins: at expensive race events. There's no pit. It's pathetic. Corby Scherb: Let's pad it. Jim Gardner: Yeah, it's the paddock. Yeah. We should call it. Kennedy's paddock, you know, cause my mom's got the catering in the paddock done up in my trailer. But, ⁓ yeah. So we got to walk the, ⁓ the pit road and, ⁓ it was, it was the chili bowl on steroids because people were just clogging it up while mechanics were trying to push cars back to their spot and waving people out and the delusional people out in La La land. They could have used big country. and just people are there to. Corby Scherb: for sure. They need a big country. Jim Gardner: take Instagram photos and be seen and, and do anything besides enjoy the actual racing. So, ⁓ but it was a good fun experience. I'm glad we went, but yeah, no, I'll take a Saturday night at Kennedale Speedway Park anytime. Slim Pushins: So did the ⁓ Did the vice? Did the vice president sales for TikTok? he ask you about the pushing the cushion TikTok page? We have like 75 followers at this point. I figured we were well onto his radar. Jim Gardner: No Yeah Yeah, I well maybe we'll be invited there next year's influencers, you know Because apparently I was with very famous internet people and I had I just didn't know because I'm not in that scene I Was locked in on the Delta Corby Scherb: Yeah, for sure. Because you're Jim Gardner and you just, you would rather. Slim Pushins: Let's be real, it's because none of those influencers had a stagger tape in their pocket. So you just couldn't care less about it. Jim Gardner: That's true. Yeah. ⁓ but now it was go. Slim Pushins: So I the videos and pictures that you posted and I can't imagine that there was anywhere on that property that you didn't have access to. You were wearing three different lanyards. From what I could see, you had at least two bracelets or wristbands on. I don't know what that got you into, but... Jim Gardner: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. We ⁓ just were in different suites. The Paddock Club was like the ultra high rollers ⁓ of like the dude bro. Yeah, but like so that's where we were. Yeah, we were in ⁓ this Paddock Club because we were guests of this company that was a global partner of Formula One. So like they have billboards across the Corby Scherb: A lot more money than any of us. Slim Pushins: No. Those were expensive bracelets too. They weren't those little wax paper bracelets. Jim Gardner: front straight away. ⁓ and it was like just catered food everywhere, Heineken's everywhere, champagne everywhere. Like, you know, bathroom attendance in these bathrooms. Like it was way too nice. You know, I, ⁓ I was, I was a fish out of water for sure. And, ⁓ you know, we, then we'd like go out onto the balcony and look down at all the peasants and We're sitting right over the top of the main straightaway. Jacqueline actually got to do the pit grid walk like right before the sprint, you know, down there 10 minutes before, you know, she sent me a picture of her with like, you know, F1 team bosses and Patrick Dempsey and all this other stuff. And, ⁓ and then, so everybody watches the getaway and then, ⁓ you know, cars go by two laps and then you turn around and the whole place is empty because they're back inside having cocktails and. Talking about the stock market and, ⁓ business to business engagement and all this other stuff that if I actually cared about, I'd probably be a lot further along in my racing career than I am now. But, ⁓ I don't know, just it is what it is. You know, they could throw a red flag on that deal on lap four and nobody would notice because they're already not caring about the cars, but it was big festival, big vibe. Miami's super cool. ⁓ I enjoyed it. Corby Scherb: Mm-hmm. Slim Pushins: So nobody was talking to you. Corby Scherb: Right. Jim Gardner: I'm excited about Kennedale though, this weekend. Give me back where I belong. Corby Scherb: We had a good weekend though, you know, mean it wasn't as extravagant as... It was cool, it was actually my first NASCAR experience. Not a lot of people know that, but... Man, like... Slim Pushins: Jim's taking it back to the rig. Jim Gardner: Yeah, how was TMS? Slim Pushins: I didn't know that going in. just because Corby's the guy that's been to every track. Jim Gardner: Did Kevin Rutherford have cool wristbands and lanyards and credentials for you? Corby Scherb: Rutherford? No man, but we had Janice sitting at the gate who would just wave us through. was like Rutherford told her who was coming in. Jim Gardner: Ha ⁓ Slim Pushins: Rutherford didn't even have sleeves. Like he was, he was vibe NASCAR vibing. Yeah. Jim Gardner: you Corby Scherb: Sun's out, gun's out for sure. But it was super cool just because, like, I'll be honest, you know, like, I just can't, like, get into the whole, like, NASCAR fan stuff and go sit in the stands. I've had a couple opportunities to go, just never did. And Rutherford called us and said that he's got a spot. And then Kerbo explained to me that it's caged in, and it was, the most perfect thing. I think we were outnumbered by kids to adults. But it was like a whole cage and like no one could get to us. It was beautiful. Me and Brooklyn got to go and enjoy it and hang out with Kerbo. And like always, me and Kerbo got to people watch and ⁓ sat back and no, no, no. Yeah, it was cool. Ride of the plan actually stopped by. ⁓ We'll get to that story a little bit later. it ⁓ was cool. NASCAR is great too. NASCAR is kind of the same thing. Once the races get going, man, it's like a hell. Slim Pushins: Nobody asked for Corby's autograph. He was in heaven. He could just be a normal guy. Corby Scherb: I hate to say it, like just super vanilla like just this is what it is. It's just It's hard to keep track And then they'll have a couple cautions there at the end and then it the racing gets really good Slim Pushins: That's what it's become. Jim Gardner: The, ⁓ The, ⁓ the thing I kept going through my head was at Formula one was like how incredible of salesmen everybody in that industry has to be to sell a grossly inferior motor sports product. So much better than everybody else. Like if, if, if a 10th of these people would go to chili bowl, what would, know, what, you know, how big would that explode? And NASCAR is just kind of the same way. Like how have these people sold this as? Corby Scherb: Mm-hmm. Jim Gardner: ⁓ you know a fantastic entertainment event you know ⁓ so anyway Slim Pushins: It's, it's fun. mean, live, it's fun, but it's fun. It's fun for reasons. I hate to say this. Correct. Yeah. It's like, it's in a, yeah, it's a big deal. Jim Gardner: it, not racing reasons. Yeah. And that was formula one. They might as well, ⁓ you know, it was no different than I'm sure the people that went to the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, you know, for me, just people are there and, know, it's a marketplace for people to get together, you know, but it's not actually about the cars and the racing and that's okay. You know, not everybody's obsessed with stagger and Corby Scherb: Yeah, I agree. I agree. know, sprint car racing is, well, sprint car racing is just so grassroots. you know, ⁓ I was super excited that TMS for the dirt track Thursday, it was kind of weak on the fans. Saturday night, it was huge. They had a ton of people walk over there and go watch the dirt track because it's where a lot of these people come from. ⁓ Even if they were just little kids in go-karts on dirt, ⁓ dirt will never, I don't think, lose its jazz of ex- Slim Pushins: Nobody's a pet faggot. Jim Gardner: bar split and tire pressures. Corby Scherb: the excitement that you have ⁓ because they'll run 40 laps and they'll be passing the whole way. You can watch from the front to the back, there's someone doing something. ⁓ I was excited and I guess, you know, Texan ended up winning it, so that's always good. And Aaron Rice will win it on Saturday night. Jim Gardner: I don't even know who. ⁓ I thought you were talking about the big race. Jumping all over the place. Corby Scherb: ⁓ good. Slim Pushins: He lost me too, but I see how he's looping around. Corby Scherb: ⁓ I was jumping back to Sprint cars and just how it, you know. Jim Gardner: Well, the, ⁓ the Thursday night show, I know they dodged the weather. ⁓ the track was real locked down and heavy the whole time. And Kyle Larson, ⁓ know, swept the night, ⁓ which is not shocking, but I, I saw highlights from Saturday and it was wide and slick to the fence and really rowdy and, ⁓ put on a really good show. And that place has got a lot of potential. It's still the whole high limit events, both this one and the one in the fall. They're trying really hard to make it a big time. Corby Scherb: Yeah Did Kyle Larson things? Who'd guessed it? Mm-hmm. Jim Gardner: event feel with the High Limit Series. It's just not gotten there yet. It's still gonna take a couple years to build up some events around it ⁓ to make them really work. at least I'm glad to hear the crowd was good. Slim Pushins: High Limits on NASCAR weekend is really cool. That's one of my favorite events because you've got so many captive people that are camping and stuff. then High Limits does something really cool that when the race, when the feature's over, they just open the pits and people from the front stretch just kind of flood in. And I always, I love interacting with people and ⁓ for a lot of people, that's the first opportunity they ever have to. see a sprint car up close, ask questions. There were a lot of questions. ⁓ All of that stuff's great. Jim Gardner: ⁓ did they pull the dueling pianos in on the semi truck again? Slim Pushins: They were on the infield. ⁓ I saw them on the infield. saw clips. I didn't see them. I didn't see them. No, on the infield of the TMS race, they did not come through. Well, we didn't go Saturday night. Jim Gardner: they be on the infield? Corby Scherb: We got a little hung up. We got a little hung up. The chairs are calling our names. Jim Gardner: Hahaha. Slim Pushins: Thank Jim Gardner: They, ⁓ they. Corby Scherb: Rutherford was too nice. put a TV down there for us and then that was it. We didn't have to move. We didn't have to move. Jim Gardner: ⁓ boy. They, ⁓ yeah, they, bring a, ⁓ opa flatbed trailer of, of dueling pianos through the pits. That was a big pit party a couple of years ago. Yeah. It is one of the cool, like most innovative things I'd seen at the racetrack in a while. I was pretty, pretty impressed by that. So. Slim Pushins: I forgot about that, so you just said that. I got a video of that somewhere. That was a TMS like stage type trailer too. that was, it wasn't a. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Yeah. Just an open flatbed trailer had two dueling piano bars got, know, like, like you'd see it, ⁓ whatever those places are called. ⁓ there's one in Addison Pete's. Yeah. And, and they played for an hour, hour and a half or whatever, after the pits there a couple of years ago. yeah. So that's cool. What else? What you guys were on the back stretch. Slim Pushins: That's peach the anemone. Corby Scherb: pizza, piano bar and stuff. way cooler than us. Slim Pushins: Brian Dever, Brian Dever said the stands were pretty full Saturday night. We were like, like Corby said, we got hung up. So ⁓ we were using a hotspot out there too. So ⁓ we were delayed at times and you know, the race was on, but we weren't glued to it. We were having a good time. Jim Gardner: Good. Good. needs. You Corby Scherb: ⁓ it was cool. was was good right? Yeah, that's I don't know. It's the same as you know writers parents I still don't understand why they ever gave me rights to their kid for a week at the chili bowl ⁓ but Slim Pushins: rather from less corby in charge. Jim Gardner: So he, was surprised he stayed the weekend because he didn't race Saturday after his crash on Thursday, right? Corby Scherb: No, he yeah, he ended up going home and then he had a day where he just he was gonna take his sister with his girlfriend and they were gonna go like Douse aquarium and stuff and then they went to the mall and then they heard some viral ice cream that they got to go spend like a hundred forty dollars on ice cream ⁓ Slim Pushins: He did say it today. Jim Gardner: We got a side side note. We got served liquor infused ice cream and some sweet and my sister thought it was awesome Disgusting. Where's the beer? I think she's got a picture of it But yeah, the weirdest wildest stuff all topped in caviar, which I like scraped off I'm not that rowdy, but there's some weird stuff down there in Miami. I was like, where's where are the chicken wings? Slim Pushins: All right, we're gonna have to start separating stories because. Corby Scherb: We didn't have those options. Yeah, it's not, not, they're out there waiting for us at Canada this weekend. Slim Pushins: Not at F1 races. Jim Gardner: and the corn and the corn dogs. Yeah. But yeah. Slim Pushins: I know this is probably a dumb question, but I saw that you had on an F1 hat. I'm assuming you didn't have to buy that. They have stacks of them in the sweets. Salesforce. Jim Gardner: No, it says Salesforce on the side too. Yeah. I forgot. I forgot the pack a hat and Jack wants like somebody's going to give you something. I was like, all right, this will work. So they gave me like portable phone chargers and, um, there was free free stuff swag all over the place. Um, Corby Scherb: way higher in the nurse. Slim Pushins: We got Corby, what did we get? It's koozies. We got team rather for koozies. And they came in clutch, trust me, we put some mileage on it. Corby Scherb: Yeah, we got koozies. Team Rutherford koozies. Yeah. Jim Gardner: Rutherford team koozies. All right. I would. That Salesforce hat probably found its way to a trash can at the Miami airport yesterday morning. So, ⁓ you know, I would take a Rutherford team Coozie. Maybe I'll get one Saturday. Corby Scherb: Nah, he did, like always, the road for, and his family, his wife and his kids are just great people. it was cool. I'm happy that I got to go and experience my first NASCAR race with them. And sadly, Kerbo was there the whole time and so I had to deal with him. Jim Gardner: ⁓ I want to hear did you guys say a school car got crashed? Slim Pushins: Yeah, he did. So after the O'Reilly race, ⁓ Saturday, I guess, should we give a little bit of background? The first time that I ever actually met Jim, Jim was working for the Richard Petty group, giving rides and teaching. Sorry, I knew it. Okay, there it is. So literally he was strapped in, they buttered me up and... Jim Gardner: Okay. driving experience. Stay with a little respect. Slim Pushins: sent me through the passenger side window of a car ⁓ for a driving experience around the Speedway. So Jim's got a lot of background with driving experiences. Also, ⁓ Kevin Rutherford used for eight or nine years drove for the Team Texas driving experience that's based at Texmo Speedway. So after the O'Reilly race, ⁓ We thought they were all done and you can hear even over just generators and people talking, you can hear when a car fires up and you didn't count. You really didn't expect it. You know, they, did the customary stuff after, after the race, they brought the blowers, jet dryers and sweepers and clear the track and all that stuff. So then we heard a couple of cars fire up and, ⁓ we were on the back stretch, but closer to turn two and all of a sudden. these team, four team Texas ride along cars came out of turn two. And did they make a full lap for me? Did they, so there was only, so there was only four of them. There was only four of them and three of them took each other out. the retired Tony Stewart car made it through the melee and made a full lap. But the other three, and then it was, they sat there for a while. Like nobody, Corby Scherb: I don't think so. think they litter up coming off too. Jim Gardner: Gotta warm those tires up, boys. Slim Pushins: I don't think they knew what to do. Like passengers weren't getting out. ⁓ drivers weren't getting out. Tow trucks were kind of slow to get over there because nobody was expecting. Jim Gardner: Yeah, because you're not supposed to crash school cars. Slim Pushins: No. So we were all laughing about it. Rutherford was laughing about it. ⁓ And we, I would have lost a bet. I would have guaranteed you that we would never see those cars again all weekend, but they were gone for about 45 minutes or an hour. Sure as hell. came, they came back now. They were dialed. They were dialed down. Yeah. They were dialed down. There was. Jim Gardner: ⁓ Man, that's. Those tickets are sold baby, we're getting these rides in. Yo, yo, no shit. Corby Scherb: ⁓ yeah. They put some good scuff tires on there and pulled the restrictor plates back. Jim Gardner: Wow, man, we went. Slim Pushins: There was no hitting the chip on those things when they came back out. Corby Scherb: Look at this guys y'all y'all are crazy like Lucas the one and only Lucas we live, baby Jim Gardner: He saw him I told him anytime he wants to drive that 51 car he's more than welcome to it if his kids give him a weekend off from baseball so now he's got to be locked in and support me but ⁓ Yep, the school cars man. You can't be crashing school cars with passengers Slim Pushins: Lucas served. He must have had absolutely nothing else going on. Corby Scherb: Right? It was it was a jaw-dropping moment like there's no way that this is happening and like like Kerberos said it wasn't just like one guy lighten it up and spin it amount You know, they kind of I mean they're not like nose to tail, but they're close enough not too close I think that they could have made moves Jim Gardner: You're well, you're close enough. So you don't want to get too close because you'll You'll damn you'll damn it. Yeah, you'll damage the the windshields the tear offs on the windshields know, we'll just take a beating and those are expensive and so but but if they're closer you can The closer you can run to people the more it feels like you're going faster because you can Run up on them. You can kind of do some different stuff and it just Slim Pushins: crash. Corby Scherb: Mm-hmm. Slim Pushins: That was the least, the tear offs were the least of their worries. Corby Scherb: Mm-hmm. Jim Gardner: There's more to the experience. So there's like a good middle ground to be in, but that's some nightmare fuel, man. Slim Pushins: They were, when they came back out, they were probably two-ish car lengths, maybe two and a half or three from each other. And I didn't see, I think Corby saw a little bit more of the wreck than I did. I saw, I heard, I heard the tire squealing just kind of subconsciously. And I looked over there and I just saw like one spinning toward the outside wall. One of them spinning to the inside wall and the other one kind of following one of the others. Corby Scherb: Now they, We'll go with the leader guy in second, know, got up underneath him, pulled his hair away and lit it up coming off turn two. It was bad. For sure. Slim Pushins: This is. Jim Gardner: It flattens out over there. I mean, it's dicey. know the so the last day I've ever given rides Slim Pushins: Well, the truck race had two cautions in the first three laps. But that series had a difficult time getting in and out of two. Jim Gardner: Yeah, geez. I bet there were some terrified people in the cars and out of the cars on that deal. Geez. Corby Scherb: But yeah, that's for sure one of the highlights of my experience, the first NASCAR race. It's wild you know like you say these dudes are just paying to honestly like get like a decent lap around Textbook or Speedway, and then they got you talk about getting a whole experience that that was all of the experience that you would want Slim Pushins: They definitely got the experience. It was great for us. I have no method interesting. Corby Scherb: There was probably a couple of drivers that got let go. Jim Gardner: Ugh. Slim Pushins: Yeah, they were probably pulling people out of stands. Are you thinking drive this thing better than these guys? Jim Gardner: Alright. Corby Scherb: ⁓ yeah. Jim Gardner: Yeah, and look, I know that, know, and everybody sees me in the power ranking. It's probably knows you don't know how to be too much of a damn race car driver to be hired at the Richard Payne driving experience back in the day. Slim Pushins: Well, they weren't in there. Corby Scherb: See? Jim Gardner: Anyway, all right. What else we got? Slim Pushins: ⁓ it was a good time though. ⁓ we took a bunch of sausage out there, got some steak. Corby Scherb: We got it. We got a new little thing that you're gonna try out this weekend. You want to talk about it? Now, are we gonna save that for the end of the show? Jim Gardner: No. ⁓ OK, so yes. So let me see. I don't know how I can post it here is the issue. How can I do this? Slim Pushins: Okay. Corby Scherb: I think it'd be a good time right about middle point. Slim Pushins: I'm trying to figure out why some comments we can see through the app or the website that we use and some we can't. Jim Gardner: This is the beauty of live TV here. ⁓ I don't think I can post it. Slim Pushins: We live, baby. Jim Gardner: I think I can only play drops. All right, whatever. So. Slim Pushins: Click on, can't you bring up Lucas's, how'd you do that last weekend? Can't you? Jim Gardner: Yes, well, ⁓ the the chat yeah Slim Pushins: Well, just the yeah, his comment. There it is. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Um, all right. We're gonna need everybody's kind of help. So somewhat the power ranking stuff. Um, I want to host, um, I'm like into fantasy sport. Like I run, uh, the, chili bowl pool and our torture, torture, shootout pool. was Kerbo's official betting consultant for years because he would make the worst football bets I've ever seen in my life. So Slim Pushins: Five minutes ago, he's gone by now. You're ...clotting for punishment. Alabama, about 51. Jim Gardner: Exactly and turbo, you know, so ⁓ I enjoy like I want to try to figure out how to get fans in on the action So I've got a pool set up for really simple pick four drivers from four four levels four groups And we're gonna take the lowest score ⁓ Yeah lowest combined feature finish score and we're gonna give somebody a prize What are we gonna give them curbo that we I don't think we ever settled we're gonna give hats away Slim Pushins: Well, since we're just releasing ⁓ breaking info, ⁓ we have the Where's Corby pushing the cushion shirts on Stomp and Steer. Jim's not happy about it. We had ⁓ the board of directors. It's because everywhere that I go, people want to know where you're at. Hey, man, it's good to see you. Where's Corby? Who cares? Jim Gardner: ⁓ Yeah. Corby Scherb: Where does that come from, Kerbo? Why would you need a shirt that says... Jim Gardner: there Slim Pushins: I didn't hear once this weekend because he got out of Wise County two races at the Speedway. Jim Gardner: There will be prizes. It'll either be pushing the cushion hats. ⁓ I will buy some pit passes for people. Yeah, I'll figure something out. But we want to do a little fantasy game. I'm going to try posting it just to the page right now, but you might have to get off the live to go see it. ⁓ Well, that's probably not a good idea. We should have thought about this better. Slim Pushins: I think we should do a shirt and a hat. That's a hell of an idea, Jim. All we want is for people to join the live and we're here. Okay, everybody, hop off. Corby Scherb: Well, it's real simple that Jimmy will post it you click on the link and if you have ever signed up for a TSS race it is the exact same style to a tee your name everything is every TSS race you ever signed up for it's the exact same Jim Gardner: What a reference. Okay, enter here. Like and share. Let's get some juice going this week. ⁓ prizes will be announced Corby Scherb: Yeah, there's a. Slim Pushins: Jordan Rupp commented, a shirt and a hat. Let's do a shirt and a hat that nobody wants. Jim Gardner: Shirt and a hat. All right. A shirt and a hat. Corby Scherb: Got your local guys, ⁓ your heavy hitters. You always got some wild cards. We got some outsiders coming in. Jim Gardner: Yeah, so yeah, so I've broken it up and it's it's live on there with a link to it ⁓ To the entry form so I've broken the kennedales put out a pre-entry list. It's 48 drivers. I've broken them up into What I miss Slim Pushins: Lucas Scherb's doing Scherb shit. They all want to know where Korby is, but I bet I'm still waiting for Kerbo to come push me. Jim Gardner: I'm Slim Pushins: This is why, this is why, this is why life is the worst idea ever. Corby Scherb: ⁓ Jim Gardner: Okay. Corby Scherb: This is why we needed to be live. This is why we needed to be live. Jim Gardner: All right. So there's 48 drivers pre-entered. Um, and I've broken them into four groups, um, kind of based on a little off power rankings and, and, and kind of just try to make something interesting. So there are four groups. Group number one is the juggernauts. And that is the top 12 essentially, um, in the power rankings, you pick one of them and, and they're your horse for the night. Group number two are the contenders. They are, uh, you know, Guys, we know who have run well, had good starts to the season. All right. Slim Pushins: Let's go through them. Let's name them off. Let's name them off. Everybody's going to see them when they click on, when they leave the live to click on your link anyway. Jim Gardner: Okay. In group number one, and these are by car number, Jeb Sessoms. No, these are the juggernauts. Jeb Sessoms, Colby Stubblefield, Carson Bolden, John Ricketts, Kevin Rutherford, Charlie, I should know how to say his last name, Theen, Timmy, Dime, Landon Balanzuela, Braxton, Weiger, Lance Christie, DJ Estes, Corby Scherb: First one, Jim Gardner. Slim Pushins: Who are these? The contenders? Done. Uyghur. This shouldn't be this hard. Corby Scherb: Weegeer. Jim Gardner: Claude Estes and Kyle Jones. That's group number one. Choose your horse. Slim Pushins: ⁓ I like that. Let me ask this group against each other. Making them choose. Jim Gardner: That's right. They won't be talking to each other in their trailers all day. ⁓ hoping to get a free push in the cushion at, ⁓ group number two contenders. Now, ⁓ this is kind of the second tier of, of the power rankings guys off to a pretty good start. Marcus Thomas, Justin Zimmerman, Charlie Harmon, Landon Thompson, Robert Byrum, Thomas Johnson, Devin Debrick, Chad Wilson, Cody Price, Colby Estes, Weston, Weston Gorham. and Jordan Rupp are the contender group. ⁓ Slim Pushins: I didn't hear your name in that first in the juggernaut. Jim Gardner: Well, here we go. Group number three, the absolute wild cards. Jeff Day Jr. Slim Pushins: Wait hold on, that mean, wild cards, does that mean like these guys potentially just ruined somebody's night? Jim Gardner: It could mean whatever you think it should mean. Yeah, we could we could haul ass. We could be two seconds off the pace That's what the wild cards are. I did both of them my first race. So Jeff Day jr. Jacob Gamola. Is that how you say that? from Pennsylvania Brandon poppy Caitlin Dixon Jason Wilson Caden Clement Joseph Casper Mike white Logan Hoskins yours truly Corby Scherb: Well, I'm pretty sure. Slim Pushins: I believe so. We'll go with that. Jim Gardner: Kenny Venable, Kaden Cole, Michael Day, and Dakota Marshall. That is the biggest group, 14 guys. So the absolute wild cards. Pick one of us. And I'll see your picks and if you pick against me, I'll know and I hold grudges. Herbo and Korby already sent in their picks. Neither of picked me. Slim Pushins: So. So, Corby. Corby Scherb: I'd pick Kayden, I'd pick Kayden Cole over you. Kayden Cole owes me a left rear from like, I don't know, like two or three years ago. They borrowed a left rear. was like, dude, just keep it. Jim Gardner: You Slim Pushins: So Jim was testing this out, texting us earlier today, and he finally got it ironed out. So Corby and I clicked on it. We made our picks, and Jim wouldn't talk to us for about four hours. Well, he said some choice words. He said some choice words, told us we are no longer friends. Corby Scherb: Something about he doesn't even, what, couldn't even carry my helmet bag or something like that. Jim Gardner: You Yeah, anyway, so I'm taking the group three picks very personally. So, ⁓ that's group three group four are the invaders. These are guys first race out this season, or I just don't have any information on them. Guys like Austin Mundy, Christopher Townsend, Cameron Vericchio, ⁓ David May, Chase Brewer is coming out of the woodwork. ⁓ this weekend, Levi Clement, ⁓ Steve McMackin, Tyler Lapointe. Slim Pushins: So. Corby Scherb: Case Brewer, the two five. Slim Pushins: Coming out of retirement. Jim Gardner: Ryan Padgett and Bradley Ivy are guys I have ⁓ no data on. So they are the invaders. ⁓ Slim Pushins: and how's the point system? Jim Gardner: The points are very easy. ⁓ it is no, no, no, no, no, cause I'm you concern me. you're going to pick one from each group and wherever the finishing feature positions are, that's their score, add them up and the lowest score wins pretty straightforward. ⁓ anybody that's a do not qualify gets ⁓ a score of 30. Slim Pushins: I doubt that, but hit me with it. Fuck, try to take that. Jim Gardner: Right. So if they start 20 cars or 24 cars, we don't know what really the format is for this weekend yet. ⁓ So I wanted there to be a little penalty. You know, if a guy crashes and gets scored last, I didn't want him to only be one point better than somebody who didn't make the show. Right. So ⁓ anyway, all the do not qualifiers are going to get a score of 30. Corby Scherb: You're out. You're done. Jim Gardner: Other than that, you're going to get just your sum of your finishing positions. And I have a spreadsheet that is populating on the answers and it will be ⁓ pretty immediate after the checkered flag Saturday night. I'll run it in the trailer and I'll get it posted so we know who the winner is. And then the only other thing that's going to go on with the contest is a driver to select. You can pick one of the 48 who's going to set quick time. And that will be worth three points. So a little tiebreaker there so. Corby Scherb: I know Dylan, man. That's bummed. That's a super bummer. Jim Gardner: Yeah, yeah. He's run one show, run in the top 10 and, ⁓ you know, has mired in the muck and the power rankings. So still early in the season though. Slim Pushins: What do think? Corby Scherb: Dylan Ramie talking about he hasn't even got to race yet. ⁓ I'll say it again, man, I just really don't know that there's many non locals that can do it at Kennedale. And I know that it's off of qualifying times, which I think is how any race like this should be. And it matters big time ⁓ where we start in heat races at Kennedale. you got Chad Wilson, Jeb, John, ⁓ Bolden can go good anytime. Kyle Jones, of course. Slim Pushins: ⁓ yeah. Corby Scherb: Brewer Brewer can surprise he's not gonna surprise anyone Brewer is brewers always fast ⁓ The land in Thompson, you know, Charlie Harmon showed a lot of speed lately ⁓ And Venezuela has been really good. I I don't I don't think that we're gonna have a surprise is what I'm saying It's gonna be someone that we've already been talking about this year the same like DJ and I'll say this on air You know, I stole it away from Claude SS the first year. He got tangled up with a lapper Slim Pushins: I was about to say, like, there's not going to be a ton of surprises. Corby Scherb: of all things and I took the lead that way. ⁓ But. ⁓ You know, it's gonna be tough and in the quick time is gonna matter. think one it's paying money this year and ⁓ It's it's Yeah Jim Gardner: So yeah, there's, good contingency money. There's, ⁓ think 500 bucks to set quick time, 500 bucks to win the dash, which also starts you on the front row, which also pays a hundred dollars per lap, ⁓ to lead, which the push in the cushion podcast is sponsoring lap. Number one, the only lap that matters. So. Corby Scherb: You can't. can't. What is it? Is it? Is it? Which way is it? You can win it on the first lap or you can you can not win it on the first lap. Slim Pushins: Well, 30. Jim Gardner: Yeah, exactly. You can win a hundred bucks and probably get interviewed next week. So we won't interview the actual winner who takes home 8,900 bucks, but we'll see who leads lap one. Have them on here for. Slim Pushins: There you go. Corby Scherb: For sure. And Ted Wilson deserves a good run this weekend. He had a little bit of a whoops-a-daisy last year. Slim Pushins: He's been doing that thing for the last few weeks. Jim Gardner: ⁓ Ryder with breaking news. Corby Scherb: That'd be something. That would be something if we saw the gold 88 pull in the pit gates. Slim Pushins: his daughter. Jim Gardner: Well, unfortunately, you weren't on the pre-entry list so nobody can pick you. So everybody's gonna be rooting against you for their picks. But we'll see. I hope you make it. I hope you're feeling better, man. That was a big spill Thursday night. Slim Pushins: Thanks Corby Scherb: Yeah, he took a big one, know. Man, he's just had some luck that's just chased him down. It's just been kind of dumb stuff from, you know, thinks he cut down a right front and ran into the wall and then broke a power steering line. And then this weekend, they think that they had a wing malfunction going into turn three. And we didn't really talk about it. know, TMS is fast, super fast. Jim Gardner: Ahem. Especially Thursday it was. Slim Pushins: That car, that car just took flight. ⁓ I've watched that replay. It's probably 30 times. ⁓ We. I was helping writer that was helping as I get, but don't look at me like that, Corby. ⁓ But. We I had it flashlight. ⁓ But I we had we had discussed. Corby Scherb: ⁓ And yeah. Jim Gardner: You're on the 9 16th. I had them in your back pocket. Slim Pushins: Internally that we thought that the top wing had kind of blown apart or partially blown apart and altered the attitude of the court drastically. then after the race and people started coming by and solidifying that, that theory, ⁓ I think, I think everybody is kind of assuming that's what happened at the absolute fastest part of the racetrack at the end of the back straightaway. Corby Scherb: You know and sadly it's stuff that you got to chase and you got to be able to dig yourself out of those those dumb things that happen and Some of the stuffs in your control the majority of it's not in your control and I hate it for rider to go down like that, but ⁓ Yeah, luckily he ⁓ for sure and luckily he was able to stand up and walk away he's got he's got a really cool bruise up his ⁓ Right arm. It's cool. It's one of those cool ones that you take pictures of you save it forever Jim Gardner: I mean a wing blown apart is nightmare fuel. Slim Pushins: It's deep. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Slim Pushins: Inside of his inside of one of his knees. It's got a deep bruise. I mean he hit he hit the catch fence. He the wall and then he hit the catch fence. It I know he was shook up. We were all kind of shook up. It was rough. But he didn't catch on fire, so it's you know, I guess in terms of Rex go. He's moving up. No, it's not the push in the cushion luck bad luck. That's all bullshit. Jim Gardner: He had a ton. A ton. Corby Scherb: ⁓ yeah. Look at the positives right now Jim Gardner: ⁓ man, the curse strikes again. ⁓ all right. Slim Pushins: Corby, you should have never said anything. the Corby curse is what it is. Corby Scherb: Riders just riders riders battling right now and that's what it takes it just takes you know you got to be hungry and be able to go home and debrief and Understand that you know these things just happen you have no control over it and ⁓ the final of the day You know you could you can spin out on a restart going into turn one You can you know? First race at Kennedy this year you can do that ⁓ You can you can clobber an infield tractor tire ⁓ Jim Gardner: You got it. What? What do we gotta keep bringing out? That was a month ago. Everybody relax. Corby Scherb: I did it. I'll call myself that. remember the first time I started up front in a feature. No, the first time I ever started up front in a feature at Kennedale, Chipper Wood actually started to the inside of me. We went to turn three and he stood up in front of me and it was going to be like my first big moment that I could throw a big slider going into turn three. And I dorked it. Spun out in front of the entire field. I think I took out the entire, in the entire Estes family. First lap of the feature. Just sit there like cool, man. Slim Pushins: Yeah, you did. That's a good way to start your sprint car career. Jim Gardner: Yeah, they will bury you man, you better watch it around those boys. Corby Scherb: I can say that Claude deserves it too, know, and DJ has been going really good Colby can surprise anyone and Rutherford's ⁓ he's always super fast She's gonna take that person who it's gonna be real big on qualifying and it could matter where we draw Jim Gardner: Good. Wonder what they're gonna do about format. I wish I wish they were a little bit more transparent about what's What's gonna happen, you know? Corby Scherb: We'll see ya! Jim Gardner: I guess I could run my own racetrack and I'd have all the answers too. But, ⁓ you know, we are doing some sort of qualifying qualifying pays 500 bucks, which is great, but hopefully it matters in the format too. ⁓ you know, I would love to see, ⁓ my favorite format, you know, the passing points they've run so far down there this year has been pretty good. I think it's pretty fair. Passing points has got its flaws, ⁓ but by and large, it's a pretty fair. Slim Pushins: in Jim Gardner: time efficient format. I'm in for it. If you're going to take the time to qualify, I'd love qualifying to matter all the way through reward the guys for taking fast cards to the racetrack. ⁓ Probably my favorite format is the old All-Star format, which is what we run in Indiana a lot. Back in the day, you basically qualify in a group or you just qualify then invert for and then take top two to the redraw. ⁓ that way the, the invert is far enough back that you won't sandbag, ⁓ and you have to make your way back into the, to the redraw. ⁓ so hopefully something, something good and productive like that. I, know, I hate kind of the gamesmanship that sometimes comes with these formats, you know, ⁓ I really don't want them to invert six and have people, you know, purposely try to qualify 20th to start on the front row of a heat race. So. Corby Scherb: Right. Or vice versa. You know, put someone, know, Marcus, Jeb, Chad, you know, someone who knows that they have to make passes in the seat race and it just gets way too aggressive. Jim Gardner: You know, the, you know, and that's essentially what they do at the Knoxville nationals. You know, if you set quick time Knoxville nationals, you start eighth or 10th. Right. And the difference there is that qualifying on your own pays 200 points in your heat race. A win pays 100 points. So it's more emphatic to still bring a fast car on your own. and, ⁓ but then anything you can get in a heat race is even more important. Right. But qualifying is still important. What I don't like seeing is. ⁓ Hey, you qualify great and work. Let's bury you the rest of the night, you know, cause that, that kind of defeats the purpose. I, unless you're going home with 500 bucks. So, ⁓ you know, we'll see, but, ⁓ yeah, lap money. So, ⁓ and like I said, I, I, I would like, I would like for all tracks to post their formats, ⁓ and have it readily available just as a side. ⁓ but, but certainly on these big paying shows. Corby Scherb: Yeah. Slim Pushins: or a hundred dollar lap leader. Jim Gardner: I would like to see what that is. So maybe they'll post it later in the week. don't know. Yeah. Right. Well, I texted them yesterday. I was like, hey, post. I got something I want to do with the entry list. Will you please let me know what it is? So I was nagging them, but. Corby Scherb: I don't know, maybe we'll force him into posting it. Slim Pushins: That's not out of the ordinary. Corby Scherb: Who'd have guessed that? Jim Gardner: Zip it, Kerbo. Okay, moving on. What else you guys got? Corby Scherb: Tim Garner be the guy on the TMS page saying why we don't promote more of the dirt track stuff. Jim Gardner: Yeah, same thing. Promoting, promoting LS Fest or something instead of, yeah, swap meets. Great. Super. That'll help. What do I know? No, cause I knew I was right. Anyway, what else we got Kerbo? What's on the run sheet you didn't emails today? Slim Pushins: ⁓ yeah, yeah, been there. want me. And I'm sure you got a response, right? Corby Scherb: the Excel spreadsheet. Slim Pushins: I didn't email you a run sheet because we don't do run sheets. We're just sending it. Corby always makes fun of run sheets. Jim Gardner: Well, and now we get to this point 40 47 minutes in we're like, oh we're talk about now Slim Pushins: I. I got a question. after I, it's a poll, I after a Saturday night's race at TMS, I swung through Sonic and this is my question. Are handicapped spots at Sonic the same as handicapped spots like anywhere else, the grocery store. At a place that you don't get out of. Nagging Nancy. Jim Gardner: T-shirts are coming Jordan. I don't know why they have handicap spots at Sonic. Slim Pushins: Corby. Jim Gardner: seems like ⁓ something you would care about that 99 % of the population's like. Slim Pushins: Well, I only asked because I swung into one. Corby Scherb: Would you get a foot long chili cheese, Coney? ⁓ Slim Pushins: I didn't know. What did I get? I think I just got a hamburger. Corby Scherb: Did you stick protein only, no carbs? Jim Gardner: strawberry nerd slushie. Slim Pushins: The fact that you know that. Jim Gardner: Those are good. Slim Pushins: So y'all both agree that it's a weird. ⁓ Jim Gardner: Ugh. Corby Scherb: I've never even thought about having one of those ever in my life. Jim Gardner: Nice and refreshing. Slim Pushins: So y'all thought the fact that y'all that y'all agree with me that you think that a Handicap spot at a place like Sonic is just a mere formality like building code So like I'm not going to hell for swinging into the handicapped spot I Didn't well define park. I was sitting in it waiting on them to bring out my meal. It took a half hour It was Jim Gardner: Probably. ⁓ you parked in it? Corby Scherb: ⁓ yeah, of course. Park, was it in park? Was the truck in park? Jim Gardner: All right, fair enough. ⁓ Slim Pushins: I thought I made that clear. Jim Gardner: I tune you out most of the time. I try to keep up with the outlaws here in Pennsylvania. Slim Pushins: All right. Second. Second part of my question. ⁓ What about handicapped stalls at a place like Buckingham? ⁓ Corby Scherb: There's a Cadillacs there the Cadillacs buddy stretch you out. ⁓ dude That's the one if you can cruise in and know that you're not gonna be like the problem if someone who really needs that Needs he needs to cruise in cuz then you're that guy Jim Gardner: Alright. Slim Pushins: wheels in. Well, and that's what I'm asking. Does that make me the asshole? Because that's the first one that I gave you. Corby Scherb: Pullbars they got the whole deal you can you can even like undercut the pull bars like if you really if you're if you're really in the zone That's that's the move take it straight to the handicap Jim Gardner: They, ⁓ They... Slim Pushins: Ha ha ha! Jim Gardner: I didn't have, I didn't have Corby's power squeeze tips on the run sheet today. Slim Pushins: Power squeeze. Jim Gardner: God. ⁓ The handicap porta potty is a game changer. So just for ⁓ volume of air inside, know, hot when it's hot in summertime. It's not the sweat lodge. Slim Pushins: Mark that. Corby Scherb: It is. It is. for sure. God, I'm telling you all. ⁓ The pink porta-pots at Avaline in mid-summer are just gruesome. Slim Pushins: Corby has visited. Jim Gardner: Hahahaha Slim Pushins: you Jim Gardner: tell you where I saw no porta potties. Formula one. They had those fancy trailers. I'm sure they were on the other side with all the peasants. Yeah, I'm sure. But yeah, we had bathroom attendants in the suites that I was at, is wild ass. Which is so awkward. I don't need you to help me turn the faucet on. I really just don't. Corby Scherb: Didn't need him. Slim Pushins: Well, not where you were at, Jim. Yeah. Do you think? bathroom attendance. Corby Scherb: There's probably some guys in this world that believe they need that. So I understand what you're saying. I went to a MotoGP race ⁓ at Kota in Austin. ⁓ And we had. Slim Pushins: Did you tip him? Jim Gardner: my beard. Slim Pushins: This is why it surprises me that Corby had never been to NASCAR, because he's been everywhere. Corby Scherb: No, well we got we got free free passes to go and we got to go down to the paddock and ⁓ Colin Edwards Got it got us in there and it was cool. I actually saw mark marquez become the youngest moto GP premier winner he beat Freddy Spencer ⁓ a Texan actually who held that record for ever probably since like the late 80s But it is it's just so different and I understand like these moto GP guys are kind of like the NASCAR guys like I Understand that they are just that much farther advanced as a racer. But the technology that goes into this, let alone what or how they treat these people who have sweet tickets and can sit up there is wild. And that's not me. Like I didn't show up to the racetrack in a suit and tie because I'm just a normal person. I'm sure that, I mean, I know that Jim, but you, no Jim, Jim, you know, you, you, ⁓ you can tie ties and all that stuff. Cause you used to be a teacher and you used to have to pull that off all the time. Right. Slim Pushins: No you're not. Jim Gardner: So, is how I'm cultured. Yeah, that's right ⁓ Slim Pushins: He had to tie Tony Stewart's tie for the NHRA banquet two years ago, three years ago. Corby Scherb: Yeah, right. But you go to the... Jim Gardner: Hey, run down to Tony's room. needs help. Tony Stewart need my help for. Slim Pushins: Tony, Tony who? Stuart? Corby Scherb: But ⁓ that's how some of these people show up for the race. And like Jimmy said, they have nothing to do with the race or to watch the race or to care about why these people are there. Slim Pushins: Wait, hold on a second. Jim Gardner: Yeah, it is. It's, it could have been. Slim Pushins: Did you tip him, Jim? Jim Gardner: The bathroom attendant? The first time. And then I got the hell out of it. And then I just like hold it. You know what? I don't have to pee. I just don't. don't. Yeah, just, yeah. As a rule of thumb, if there's a bathroom attendant on scene, it's not my scene. I'm out. I'm there at the behest of somebody else. Slim Pushins: Yeah. I don't know what the etiquette is. Corby Scherb: looking for a tree around the corner or something like a normal person. Slim Pushins: Cause there was a guy that made it all awkward. Would you like a towel? Corby Scherb: Kind of like band-aids. What if the bathroom attendant had band-aids? Jim Gardner: They probably do. Slim Pushins: You were probably in the wrong bathroom. Jim Gardner: out. There's not one of our listeners is like, yep, bathroom attendants. I'm in. Slim Pushins: Well, Jordan just said, Jordan just responded to the handicap stall, said he got to walk out dragging a leg. Corby Scherb: No, I- Jim Gardner: You Uhhh... Slim Pushins: I can, but I can tell you, Jim, can tell you there's no, there's not an absolute chance in hell that whatever you tipped that dude was even on his radar compared to what everybody else was tipping the bathroom attendant that night. What am I supposed to do with this? You think, you think $5 is going to pay my rent in a Jim Gardner: ⁓ yeah, he's like, ⁓ here's a five? Great. I was sitting there thinking, damn, five bucks? I don't have any singles? South Beach ⁓ Yeah, it was the whole weekend I was just like this is not my scene at all Corby Scherb: It's different, like I say, we went to MotoGP and... Slim Pushins: Corby, do you have a favorite stall, type of stall? I mean, not stall, porta potty? Jim Gardner: See, this is why I would like for you to send us a run sheet so that I could axe these plans and be like, come up with something else. Slim Pushins: No, this is why we don't send run sheets. Corby Scherb: at anything any place Any place but the chili bowl because there's too many guys who go to the racetrack and expect to be able to eat chili cheese fries And then get in a race car and act like it's no problem And you go to the chili bowl, and there's three stalls, and there's 47 urinals Dude, dude it is it Slim Pushins: It's also while we're doing it live so you can't zip it. Jim Gardner: Tilly Bull's bad, dude. Man, we should, I just came up with a great business idea. We should rent 10 porta potties, private, right outside the big back door. Slim Pushins: Yeah. I have so much. I have so much. Corby Scherb: Yeah, I bet you could charge them a quarter of pop and they would be lined up. Jim Gardner: No, I'll tell you how they do it in formula one. Give me a hundred dollars. Here's a wristband for the week. Come on in and drop anchor whenever you need to Slim Pushins: Order! I got a bag of wristbands. Jim Gardner: Yeah, that's what we should do just rope it off right there by the push-off shoot and have 20 porta potties you would Corby Scherb: It is, man. Slim Pushins: We pay, we just pay, ⁓ Corby Scherb: Next thing, you you've been standing in line for 20 minutes now, and I mean, it is beyond game time, and some dude's sitting in there with some church shoes on, just chilling like there isn't a line outside. That's the worst. That's the worst. Jim Gardner: It's 415 hot laps are at 430 you're in your suit Yeah Slim Pushins: You hear me? They're watching TikToks and shit. Corby Scherb: ⁓ man, campers, campers, that's what I call them. Can't stand a good camper. Slim Pushins: Just chill, look under, you see like penny loafers. Corby Scherb: Yeah, ⁓ yeah. Jim, is that you? Jim Gardner: Ugh. Slim Pushins: Ha ha ha! Jim Gardner: There was that year at Chili Bowl, had to wear flip flops everywhere because my feet were so chopped up and cut up. You remember that year? God. Corby Scherb: That was the... Slim Pushins: I'm laughing because I've seen your feet. I would have been flunked off anyway. Jim Gardner: God, I like, had, ⁓ like I went to Sam's or something. bought like a whole pack of socks for chili bowl week and I didn't wash them. Like I picked them up on the way to the Sherb shop and I put them on for practice day. And by the end of the day, my feet were roasted blistered everywhere. Like I could not walk. walking on the sides of my feet all weekend. And finally I just went and bought like a pair of $12 flip-flops and that was just what I wore like down the ramp and you know that was awful. Corby Scherb: Man, I'll say this. I would know that, well, like we're talking up on the chilly boat right now. I would buy a new pair of shoes every year we went there because you were gonna put some miles in. I don't care if you're there to race. I mean, we're not all Kyle Larson and can cruise our motor home inside. Like you are going to walk. I would always, and then Jim, you went with the new socks. Terrible, terrible mistake. Slim Pushins: Don's got, Don's got port-a-potties. Don's got the hookup on port-a-potties. Jim Gardner: Mm-hmm. Yeah. ⁓ Yeah, that'll never happen again. Slim Pushins: Dude, those... chili bowl... those chili bowl bathrooms... Those things give me so much anxiety. Everything about those things suck. Corby Scherb: It's bad. It's terrible. And you know what? They'll have more people there next year and the next year and the next year. Slim Pushins: ⁓ I think it's great. Jim Gardner: ⁓ yeah. Everybody heard I got a midget, so we're putting the asses in seats on Wednesday night at Chili Bowl week. 50. Slim Pushins: That's what it is. Where are you at the power rankings right now? Heh heh. Jim Gardner: Well, let's make it official. Let me get the, let me drop that spreadsheet and bring up another one. Slim Pushins: spreadsheet after spreadsheet, spreadsheets on spreadsheets. Jim Gardner: That's right. Let me scroll down, down, down, down, down, 53rd. I'm going to make moves this weekend, though. Watch me. Slim Pushins: you Yeah. Corby Scherb: What happens if you pull off a win? Like is that gonna automatically to the top 10? Jim Gardner: We'll have to see what the math does because the math doesn't care. The math is about results only. That's what we're at here pushing the cushion. Corby Scherb: Hmm. Hmm. It's like mx plus b equals y is the line that you just crossed. Jim Gardner: So yeah, well, that is the formula for slope. ⁓ yeah, anyway, what else we got? Slim Pushins: ⁓ There it is. There it is. Corby Scherb: the slope of the line that you just crossed. Slim Pushins: So, so did I just hear we're going to rent pushing the cushion? We'll have a vendor spot set up in the event center and just the note table. No, just a push in the cushion banner with port-a-potties. Jim Gardner: Dude. Corby Scherb: We might. Jim Gardner: We'll make more money than the Hans do. Corby Scherb: 3 minute time limit, you can't get it done in 3 minutes, you got other problems. Keep it moving. No, absolutely no church use, none. Jim Gardner: That's a that's a, that's a different episode. The other was stopwatch. Slim Pushins: No pity loafers. Jim Gardner: ⁓ man. ⁓ Slim Pushins: What about flip flops? Flip flops get you straight to the front of the line. Like if you have balls enough to go into a quarter potty. Corby Scherb: Yeah, because my boy Danny Essek, promise you Danny's gonna wear flip-flops one day to there. Slim Pushins: Absolutely. Corby Scherb: ⁓ yeah, it'll be it'll be four degrees outside and this decreases in two cases of beer ⁓ man, he's not not that but I promise you he'll show up in flip-flops Jim Gardner: Ugh. Yeah. Slim Pushins: Jim Lucas said, Lucas said if you'll meet his, if you'll meet his list, he'll go back to the chili bowl. Jim Gardner: Yeah, I'll find him a Mine is very much not a spike. Slim Pushins: There you go. Gina said you can start, you can start at shootout. Jim Gardner: Yeah. Shootouts probably, I mean, the Tulsa Expo Center is probably the only place in sporting event on the planet where the women's restroom doesn't have a line out of it and the men's does. Corby Scherb: for sure. Slim Pushins: The push in the kitchen for the potty alley. Jim Gardner: I know what the, I've never asked Gina what the female bathroom situation is there. Corby Scherb: We've never dabbled in this on live either, and here we are. Jim Gardner: Yeah, not just we, it's never been discussed because it shouldn't have been. I don't even know how we got here. I was just trying to have a contest for the weekend at Kennedale, try to get some people involved. Corby Scherb: I agree. start calling the toilet bowl experience. Slim Pushins: Jim, Jim, it's. Jim Gardner: Yeah, ⁓ we got a couple more entries here. I'm to see if they picked against me right quick Slim Pushins: Of course they did. Corby Scherb: many people are you gonna line up, cut the infield through turn three, just junk them? Jim Gardner: I'm gonna wear my yellow gloves and That way they can see the finger. They picked against me. I'm gonna let them know ⁓ Slim Pushins: slap the shit out of it. Corby Scherb: Man It'd be cool man, it's been it that this race has been a really big deal and it'd be excited I like I said Slim Pushins: I'm looking forward to it. Jim Gardner: ⁓ Rickets Rickets chose violence today okay I see you John. ⁓ Slim Pushins: Attaboy, Ricketts. Corby Scherb: ⁓ It'll be cool to see you know I said I would be super impressed if a non-local can show up and do this ⁓ But you never know I mean sprint car racing sprint car racing. Yeah, you have no idea Jim Gardner: You know, you'll say that and you know, Carney came out and hammered everybody last year. ⁓ in, in what everybody told me was a good race. Cause I was back in the pits fuming around and trying to work on Jeb's car to get it to roll back in the trailer. you know, ⁓ I think, and, and rider with plant ran second last year, right? Corby Scherb: I agree. Slim Pushins: ⁓ in what? Jim Gardner: In the, in the big Kennedy show. Did he not? Ryder Ryder and Jeb got together. Slim Pushins: I don't know, Ryder, you still on? Are you still? Corby Scherb: Yeah, but I thought- Jim Gardner: Up front I could have swore it was carny then Jeb Slim Pushins: I saw Carney. Carney's not, he's not loaded in. ⁓ He might be reading race cars. Jim Gardner: No, he's yeah. They said somebody's coming from El Paso, but I didn't see it. It's certainly not him. I don't know. Um, I don't know if there's a 360 shows out there or whatever, but, uh, I, I am in agreement, um, that it's probably going to be a name that we expect, um, upfront, probably from the juggernaut list, but you also can't rule out Chad and Marcus. Um, Corby Scherb: Hold on, I'm pulling it up. Jim Gardner: ⁓ So. Slim Pushins: I mean, let's be real, the only, I think I'm safe in saying this, the only reason that they're not in the juggernaut list is because they haven't raised. Jim Gardner: As they haven't raced, yeah, correct. Yeah. It's a participation thing, you know, but I wasn't going to sit there and like pick and choose who's going in what group and stay. That was not, that's not my jam. just grabbed, grabbed whatever the computer said and let it eat. You know what I mean? ⁓ Cause you know, cause I wasn't trying to pack, pack them all in, but get a good spread and get a good virtue of picks. Slim Pushins: Did it pain you that you weren't on the juggernaut list? How does that work internally? Jim Gardner: No, I'm very self-aware of what I am. Slim Pushins: You Corby Scherb: Great mechanic, wildly mediocre sprint car driver who can pull off something out of nowhere. Jim Gardner: I am an absolute wild card. That's right. That's right. So I, hopefully just qualify in well and stay out of trouble and have a good show and just enjoy it have some fun. So that's the whole reason we're going. Want to be a small part of a big event and glad they're putting on this big event just the same way as speed week, which I'm probably not going to run. ⁓ but, ⁓ you know, just because I don't feel like I have a shot to win, doesn't mean I'm not going to go and not be tried to. Corby Scherb: Qualifying is gonna be big, I promise you it will. For sure. Jim Gardner: supportive and be part of the big event. That's the whole reason we do this, you know, push yourself. So. Slim Pushins: Jim starts every week so positive when he texts Corby and I about show prep and show ideas and then we shit on it and it depresses him. Like live. What you ask us? You asked us what yesterday or the day before? Just what went on, you because you checked out for the weekend, just what went on. ⁓ What are we going to talk about? And you instantly regretted that. Jim Gardner: Yeah, the group text is more wheels off than this is was just saying something. So. Slim Pushins: One of them. One of the, ⁓ one of the topics that one of us brought up is whether or not you had ever thought about eating a burrito sideways. Corby came up with that question. I don't know where he comes up with these. They're so outlandish, but you know, does. When he asked me, he's like, you ever tried to a burrito sideways? Corby Scherb: Here there's people who do it. Jim Gardner: Now. Corby Scherb: Have you ever thought about that? Has anyone ever thought about that? You take a burrito like a normal person and turn it sideways and try to eat it. It's like eating a Subway sandwich from the center. Slim Pushins: It has never crossed my mind. Jim Gardner: No. What, are we? How did we get here? What am doing with my life? Corby Scherb: Where have I gone so wrong? Jim Gardner: I should just go inside, hang out with my wife. ⁓ I feel sorry for this. Slim Pushins: I don't think it would be good like that. Are you going to post? Are you going to post the video or one of us going to have to post the video? The corn dog. Did you ever answer the question? Where did it rate? I know you did on the video, but did you? Jim Gardner: The The buzzed up corn dog video. I think I gave it like a mid eight I said, you know, if kennedales corn dog is is a perfect 10 Which it is and for it's like it always is if they could get the track prep as consistently good as that ⁓ You know, but I think the corn dogs I think the kennedale corn dogs are perfect. They don't need condiments. They don't need mustard ketchup Like they're they're two bucks, you know, this one I had was 25 and it didn't wildly impress me. So I don't know, post it. Maybe I'll make one, ⁓ you know, before the B main on, ⁓ or maybe after the B main on Saturday. We'll post them side by side. Yeah. Corby Scherb: Stick it out of the heat race and you got to worry about that be main these be mains have every year these be mains have been wild This is a be main. You do not want to be in Slim Pushins: Post what? The corn dogs? Jim Gardner: Yeah, so. ⁓ yeah, so. But yeah, we've got it in the bag for for content, but we'll see. I need I need one. need I need to probably do one about Kennedale first to give it some context. Slim Pushins: So you're gonna post it. Yeah, you've already got this one fresh out of the bag. I'm it amazes me that you, that you rate every corn dog based on Kennedy's corn dog. Jim Gardner: I don't know. I'm probably overthinking it. I'm telling you, you can't find a better one. Corby Scherb: You're probably starting wars with people who just swear the Devil's Bowl's food was that much better. Jim Gardner: Yeah. No, it just, you know, whose corn dog was, was up there. ⁓ Roy Upshull's love taco Casa fame. He had handmade ones in the shop one night that he just kind of came out with. He's like, here, by the way, I just made these from scratch. Slim Pushins: I tell you what, speaking of, speaking of starting worse. That's, I was about to bring that up. It just disappeared for a half hour. were building Jeff's car. Like Roy's there, Roy's there, Roy's gone. Right. And he comes down with a tray, a tray of corn dogs and then were calling. I don't know what brand. I don't know what. Jim Gardner: He must have went home of corn dogs and they were good. They were really, really good. Yeah. So. Corby Scherb: I'll just shoot everyone in the foot. I've never been a corndog person. Never. Jim Gardner: Well, I don't like how down south here they call them corny dogs. That's just sounds... Sounds weird. Like it's... No. And I... Look... Alright. I'll leave my up north Yankee... Yeah. And I've like, I'm not going to the Texas State Fair because again, it doesn't feel like my scene to just walk around and eat fried foods. Yeah. But no, it just doesn't. Slim Pushins: Listen, don't come down here and try to change our ways. Nobody likes that. likes an ungrateful guest, okay? You mean Texan? Jim Gardner: I feel like it's something I'm going to do with my time. ⁓ but I'm sure that there are not corn dogs there that are better than the Kennedales. And yeah, I'm trying to get preferential treatment on, ⁓ maybe a, ⁓ yeah, maybe a scoring debate on, ⁓ in the B main on Saturday. The Kennedales are like, you know what, guy, that guy takes care of us. So we'll see. ⁓ Slim Pushins: Yeah, no. It's expensive. You kidding me? Corby Scherb: Maybe like a cool draw, like. Slim Pushins: Corn dog talk. Join us for corn dog, corny dog talk. Corby Scherb: Morning, dog. Jim Gardner: We'll call it corny dogs. All right. We're to wrap this up. The outlaws are about to push off for the main event. Corby Scherb: Yep, let's go. Slim Pushins: Did we already miss the LCQ? Jim Gardner: Yeah. Yup. Slim Pushins: Spencer Basin starting 20th. I guess they've got some heaters. Jim Gardner: You're ahead of me. Yeah, they're out in PA this week. Posse versus Outlaws. Corby Scherb: was a good week for that. Jim Gardner: Yeah. I had no idea they were racing tonight. I've been, I've been out of the loop for, I've been not firing on all cylinders for seven days. Yeah. Corby Scherb: ⁓ yeah, you were at F1. You had ⁓ restroom attendants and stuff. Slim Pushins: Hey, before we leave, did you buy anything Jim? Did you get any swag? Jim Gardner: $25 corn dog or yeah Slim Pushins: You didn't go buy a $100 Mercedes Hattery. Jim Gardner: Literally between between no, you want to know why guess what I have Mercedes Benz hat costs Slim Pushins: I've heard that they're like 125 bucks. Corby Scherb: I can only imagine. Jim Gardner: It started with a one and it had three digits. And that's when I moved it on like a, um, uh, a crew, like a crew team polo, right. Or like a crew team t-shirt, you know, that had. Tick tock and crowd strike and all these companies you never heard of on it, right. $235 for like the Aston Martin team t-shirt. Yeah. Right. Like, and it was cheap. Corby Scherb: I know you f***ing lied. Slim Pushins: Quit it, Corby. Corby Scherb: you Did you ask him to square up? Slim Pushins: What does that shirt cost? What? 12? 12 bucks? Corby Scherb: $6. Jim Gardner: nine dollars to make. Yeah. And so like in the Red Bull ones were more expensive. And if it was like a polo is three hundred and fifty and everybody there is wearing something. It was nuts. Jacqueline got like a cool event polo that was still too expensive, but it's nice, you know, and she doesn't have, ⁓ you know, a closet full of Corby Sherb shirts. No, Jacqueline's got some old Jim Gardner shirts that I made, but, ⁓ you know, I've got some. Slim Pushins: That's crazy to me. Corby Scherb: Jim Gardner stuff. Jim Gardner: You know, if you ain't a Corby Sherb fan, you ain't shit shirts and stuff like that, that I'd much rather wear than the, ⁓ the Aston Martin Aramco Formula One team. Crappy green. Corby Scherb: Those were good. Those were good ones. Now it's where's Corby at? Slim Pushins: Are you going to order a Warrick for me? Are you gonna order a Where's Corby shirt, Jim Gardner: No. Corby Scherb: not a supporter anymore. Lost him. Jim Gardner: No, probably not. did wear my light blue Emory LaPlante Slim Pushins: Jim is not. We saw that's Ryder's younger sister. saw her this week. I would say little sister, but she's gotten tall. But she came Saturday after the race hung out for a while. Corby Scherb: to just let him know. Yeah, Ames was there this weekend. Jim Gardner: Yeah. So I, yeah, that was like the one race T I own that's not black. So, ⁓ yeah. Slim Pushins: Bobby bottle service that corny dog talks making him hungry. Jim Gardner: He's probably up with his baby. Bob, he, ⁓ he was sending me hot Kentucky Derby picks all day, Friday and Saturday. He's like, ⁓ this guy scratched. So you need to go win place for show with this. And I was in Florida and I couldn't make any wagers. So that was a hell of a race though. ⁓ that final kick. Slim Pushins: I saw something in the winter. I saw something in print that how many started? 20? Like every horse that started was a descendant of Secretariat in some way. That's crazy. Jim Gardner: Yeah, that's cool. You see the one buck the jockey off like getting into the gates and had to scratch. ⁓ But then that the winner came from deep came from like 17th on the final stretch. It was pretty cool. So there's a cool video on ⁓ online that was like a split screen of the race and then camera on the trainer and the trainer kind of sees what's going to happen before everybody else around her does. Slim Pushins: TikTok. Jim Gardner: and ⁓ gets all jacked up and it was super cool. I love watching, there's nothing better than a good like animated crew guy on the ramp that's just living and dying with every spot that this guy's going to get, you know? They keep taking guy. you know, just seeing people pump their fists and wave their hats when their guy makes a pass for night or something like that, you know? It's fun seeing the support system, ⁓ you know, Corby Scherb: like they keep digging time. Slim Pushins: You feel that guy? I think we need to do... Corby Scherb: ⁓ for sure. Jim Gardner: You know, it's cool seeing those. I love those videos. Slim Pushins: We need to do a PTC keep digging shirt with slim on the back with a shovel. Jim Gardner: Now you're talking finally. It took an hour and 12 minutes for you to say 72 minutes into this thing. You finally come up with something productive. Corby Scherb: No we do not. Slim Pushins: Okay. Why don't you, hey, this week, why don't you send me, why don't you send me about seven renditions of Slim with a shovel and just make him fatter every single time? Yeah, why don't you do that, Would that make you feel better about nobody picking you this weekend? can just have at it. Just make Slim as big as you want. Corby Scherb: Plug the headset in. Jim Gardner: You The shovel gets smaller. Slim Pushins: big slim, little shovel, little hole. Corby Scherb: ⁓ that was a treat too when everybody was coming out with slim pushin' shirts and Jimmy had to redo it like maybe 112 times. No, don't like that. No, don't like that one. Nope, definitely not. Nope. Jim Gardner: ⁓ Slim Pushins: Yeah, that was a real treat. Finally, I saw the trend and I was like, what in the hell? Why is slim getting bigger? And the four wheelers getting smaller, you assholes. Corby Scherb: You Jim Gardner: That's it and my cats going my cats want to go in he's digging at me Corby Scherb: ⁓ man. We should do one too of, was this one time, ⁓ talking about four wheelers and them getting smaller, you know, when we were in a caution for a long time before the start of a race at Kennedy and then I finally look up and see Wesley McNorton hand pushing the quad off the racetrack could do one of just Wesley pushing it off the racetrack. Jim Gardner: I ⁓ get out of here smoky. Slim Pushins: I told y'all from day one, from day one, if I ever have some sort of a four-wheeler accident on the track, I'm going to fall down onto the dirt and I'm going to flop around and then I'm just going to be still and all of those people laughing at, I'm not moving until the ambulance comes. I want all those people laughing at me to feel bad. Jim Gardner: Well, well, that was the last time that four wheeler ever went to the racetrack because Wesley refused to take it. He's like, Nope, take it out. I ain't, I helping. Take it out. somebody else. Corby Scherb: Yeah, yeah. Wesley would have read their hand pushed me like Jimmy had to do the last race I ran What real quick Kerber let's let's let's just touch on this what would happen if you got stuck in the mud Jim Gardner: You Slim Pushins: No, he didn't. I would, I just waited out. Jim Gardner: You Slim Pushins: I've never been the only option. What am I options? not gonna, I'm not gonna get out dredged through mud deep enough to stick a four wheeler. I'll just wait till it dries out. Corby Scherb: You're just there. Jim Gardner: We took. We, ⁓ we took baits to that midget raise at TMS, ⁓ and he didn't put any fuel in his four wheeler left me out there for hot laps on the front stretch with it. had to get shoved off by those like makeshift cool things that, ⁓ power eyes got the SUV side by side old 74, you know, ⁓ yeah, they look like El Caminos with, you know, Slim Pushins: Yeah. Corby Scherb: Power, I am. Slim Pushins: Buick's like a mix between like a Buick and a Jeep and Corby Scherb: Yeah, right? Jim Gardner: Wrecker hooks on the back. Yeah, he had to push me off all the way back to our trailer So I can put fuel in the dim. That's how our year got started but Slim Pushins: They are pretty cool.

Let's watch this main event. Slim Pushins: That thing comes around about every year. ⁓ That's pretty funny. All right. Corby Scherb: Alright, I think we can call it a night.
